It's hoooooooooot today, enough for us to head to the neighborhood pool. We are going to enjoy a cold summer supper, with shrimp salad hoagies, dill pickles, bbq potato chips and a fresh batch of sweet iced tea. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Last night I had a dinner party, so that was fairly high maintence (mmm baked stuffed lobster).

I made an extra dish of the "stuffed" part (ritz crackers, butter, herbs, scallops, shrimp mainly) for dinner for us tonight. I'll make a huge pile of steamed veggies (green beans, broccoli, sugar peas, etc) and that'll be dinner.

The other night DH made a green Thai curry with eggplant, tofu, onion and bamboo shoot, served with jasmine rice ... that is my favorite dinner that he makes, maybe my favorite dinner ever.

I don't know what I'm making for dinner tonight. I feel very laid-back about it rather than making a 'sunday dinner.' Maybe veggie burgers.

I did make a blueberry pie last night (it was runny, but seems solidified and okay enough today?). I still have 2 pints of blueberries left, so I'm thinking of making something else with one of the pints. Usually I'd make blueberry muffins or waffles, but I want to do something different ... I don't know what.

DH right now is cooking one of our favorite pasta dishes, a derivative of Giada De Laurentiis' Little Thimbles Sciue’ Sciue’, only he's using gemelli instead of ditalini. Oh, so simple, so fresh, so goooooooood. I could eat the whole pot of it!! I can smell the garlic browning and even the fresh tomatoes as he's chopping them. My stomach is RUMBLIN'!!

It's already 92 here so tonight we're going to go to the local diner (air conditioned and we have a GC!) so we don't have to turn the oven on.

That sound sooo very good, may I ask how he made them? Did he use the mini muffin tin method?

As for us... tonight dinner is steak, grilled corn, and peaches on the grill.

We actually bought white china ramekins at W-mart on Sat. They were like $.97 each - for the actual cooking he put them in a roasting pan with boiling hot water in between and then they cooked in the oven for 45 min. Lol, I was just the sou chef on this one, but I can check and see if he's willing to share the recipe.

Tonight we're having sautéed chicken with balsamic and prosciutto, garlic mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus. There are also fresh strawberries and mascarpone gelato from the farmers' market for dessert, if they can make it through the day uneaten
